To encourage doctors to take specialisation courses at the Khesar Gyalpo University of Medical Sciences of Bhutan, the government has relaxed the mandatory service bond temporarily. The number of years to serve after studies has been halved. Until now, doctors have had to serve double the number of years of study period. The health minister, during the Meet The Press session earlier today, said that this is a part of policy strategies to encourage doctors to take such courses. She said the government initiated this measure along with other interventions earlier this year after only six doctors applied for more than 20 slots.

Health Minister, Dechen Wangmo said, “Some doctors were also interested in applying but then they had certain commitments to finish their probation period in order to apply for specialisation courses. We had a round of discussion on that too and we have also made that exception. After this intervention, I am happy to inform you that we have eight more doctors who applied for the post.”
